Acting might seem like a pretty glamorous profession, but it’s not always that way. In fact, sometimes you might find yourself in one of the most successful shows on TV, but not actually allowed to wash your hair.

Hair occupies a unique place in the pantheon of fashion. T-shirts can be exchanged for shirts, jumpers shelved for jackets, and an ill-fitting pair of jeans taken back to the shop and switched, but there’s no getting away from a bad haircut. One simple misstep – “Let’s try a buzz cut, why not?” – can result in months of shame.
